The 
Epistle of Paul the Apostle to
Philemon
Chapter I
1 Paul rejoices to hear of the faith and love of Philemon, , 8 whom he desires to forgive his servant Onesimus and lovingly to receive him again
Eph 4:1;Phi 2:25;2 The 1:1Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,
Col 4:17;Rom 16:5;2 Cor 5:72 And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house:
Eph 1:2;Heb 6:10;1 The 3:63 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Phi 1:3;1 The 1:2;Col 3:124 I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,
Eph 1:15;1 Joh 3:23;2 The 3:75 Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
Phi 1:9;Rom 12:3;Luk 12:31-326 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
2 Tim 1:16;Eze 18:5;Joh 3:277 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
2 Cor 3:12;Rom 10:18;Mat 13:388 Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,
1 Joh 5:18;1 Pet 1:23;Heb 10:339 Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
Col 4:9;1 Cor 4:15;Gal 4:1910 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
Joh 15:12;Act 23:2;Deu 33:111 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
Gen 4:4;1 Pet 2:23;Mat 5:4412 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:
Phi 2:30;Joh 5:21;Rev 1:513 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
2 Cor 9:7;1 The 3:1314 But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
Gen 45:8;Gen 45:5;Rev 21:815 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;
Mat 23:8;1 Tim 6:2;Eph 6:5-716 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?
2 Cor 8:23;Luk 3:11;Deu 15:717 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
18 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;
Joh 18:37;Act 19:2119 I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.
1 The 1:520 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.
2 Cor 7:16;Job 22:26;Heb 10:2221 Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
Jam 5:16;Rom 15:30-32;Phi 1:2522 But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
Col 1:723 There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;
Act 12:12;Act 19:29;Act 20:424 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
